Stage Description

This is one of the longest and toughest stages of The Way of Salt, marking the farewell to Andalusia and entry into Extremadura. The journey is a constant challenge over a mountainous and solitary terrain, with strong ascents like that leading to Calvary Hill. The pilgrim must be completely self-sufficient, as there are no services along the entire route. The landscape of dehesas and undermountain is spectacular. Arrival in Monesterio, now in the province of Badajoz and famous for its ham, feels like a great victory after overcoming a major challenge.
